Forced server transcoding for everything. Ouch. Thought maybe at least mpeg2 or something would play directly.

it's 480p. every box i've used in the last two decades could do that on the fly without breaking a sweat.
Intel ARC 380's are ideal at 4k realtime transcoded streams. And theyre cheap as well.
You could probably do a sticky round robin reverse proxy with a few backends doing transcode.
The biggest issue is bandwidth, but you probably knew that.
Even better is a passive cooled GPU like the Palit 3050 KalmX https://www.palit.com/palit/vgapro.php?id=5147 Too bad they are not producing them anymore
